GRTgaz puts into effect the provisions of the law on modernized business practices in regard to payment terms and conditions, payment deadlines, and dematerialised invoices.

How GRTgaz meets its legal obligations

GRTgaz is digitalizing its purchasing process by partnering with SAP Ariba.

SAP Business Network is a collaborative web platform where relationships between GRTgaz buyers and suppliers are facilitated.

The platform allows you to receive calls for tenders from GRTgaz, to submit commercial and technical proposals and to confirm the purchase orders issued by GRTgaz.

You can open a free standard account on SAP Business Network to carry out your transactions with GRTgaz: establish a contract and receive an order with no limit on the number of documents.

In accordance with the Law on Modernized Business Practices (LME) of 4 August, GRTgaz undertakes to pay its suppliers’ invoices by bank transfer within 60 days in certain cases (e.g. transport) from their date of issue.

To participate in an eco-responsible approach, GRTgaz provides its suppliers with the SY by Cegedim portal free of charge for the dematerialization of its invoices and the traceability of its processes.
Each supplier has a personalized space.

For new suppliers:

To register for the SY portal, please send the following information to blg-grt-dfrsea-demat-factures@grtgaz.com:

  • your corporate name and full address,
  • the email address of the person at your company who will receive the username and password and who will be the administrator of the SY account,
  • this person’s surname, first name and telephone number.

The one regulatory condition is that you must be able to generate invoices in Native PDF format. The native PDF must not come from a scan, but must be produced directly from your invoicing or office tool.

For all technical difficulties, please contact the portal hotline on +33 (0)9 70 72 43 57 Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or send an email.
